If John Black is going to jail for 50 years, does that mean viewers don't have to watch squinty eyes and his acting anymore?

I know nothing about the actor, and he could be a fabulous human being. But in that role - I can't stand him!

I've never seen the actor do anything else, unless you count the years he was playing "Roman Brady" but it was all the same.

I think there was a running joke on Friends, when Joey was supposed to be working on Days, that that's what the actor does, when he needs to read the cue card. So, if so, not only does he not know his lines, but he needs glasses, too!

cailin, I don't remember when John thought he was a priest. Maybe I blocked that, and the devil story (but sadly, I do remember that one.)

CIBC, the Abby/Austin scene WAS creepy. Shouldn't he be considered her honorary uncle? Austin and Jennifer worked together years ago, didn't they?

ph: yes, it's the original Jack, but without the charm he had. Now the goofyness is just weird, imo.

CIBC: I have no idea why John was in the wheelchair, or if he was paralized when he and Marlena left the show. Don't know why Brady is so hateful, too, though they did try to explain it all when he was stuck with Madison during the blizzard. I didn't see it all, but it seemed to go along the lines of: my mother died and my father was distant/absent. I could be wrong on that part, though. I was liking Sami until this latest development with EJ. Yuck, yuck, yuck. And, that scene was awful to watch.

This this this!!! I was soooo glad when they left the show and so bummed when they recently returned. Did you see it today when Marlena "almost" fainted when John was led out of the judge's chambers following his sentencing? It was singularly the worst piece of acting I've ever seen. I actually LOL'd!

And yes on the Abby/Austin "thing" ...creepy!

oh yeah, one more thing...don't you love how John is always "working out"? I'm sure all prisoners are allowed to have dumbbells in their cells...no safety issues there!

I was excited Austin was back until I saw he hadn't aged as well as I hoped.
